Breakfast Side Ideas: Rosemary Garlic Home Fries

We think these Rosemary Garlic Home Fries pair deliciously with a high-protein breakfast. They are the perfect foil for eggs or scrambled tofu.

Ingredients:

• 3 Russet potatoes
• ¼ cup Rosemary Garlic Ghee
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice each russet potato in half lengthwise. Slice each potato half into three pieces. Then slice each third into ½-inch pieces.
2. In a large ovenproof skillet (i.e. cast iron), heat the ghee over medium-high heat, until a drop of water sizzles. Add the potatoes and stir to coat with melted ghee. Leave the potatoes to fry for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Place the pan in preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft inside.
